PETALING JAYA: DAP leader Liew Chin Tong says Umno is headed for a “civil war” that could see the party breaking up internally as a result of its decision not to cooperate with PPBM in the 15th general election (GE15).
The party’s political education director said Umno will see two factions fighting to take control of the party, with those backing Muhyiddin Yassin seeking to oust the group opposing the prime minister.
In a blog post, Liew said that if pro-Muhyiddin leaders like Hishammuddin Hussein and Annuar Musa prevail, Umno will end up a “loyal servant’” to the PPBM president.
He added that it will also witness an exodus by the anti-Muhyiddin faction.
